Covenant Transportion: Brief Overview of Orientation | Training | Student Paystubs

[@calebbishop8737]

Nice video. You're making more money than probably 95% of people with the same experience level. Gotta be a real road warrior to team. I could see you owning a truck in a year or so. Good luck!

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video as well as leaving a comment. Team driving takes a lot of patience but if one is willing so Sacrifice for a short period of time. It allows you to earn great money and open up opportunities.

[@snowercole2859]

Thank you starting

[@tylerwright9501]

You should show the paystubs of you driving for mileage pay

[@patrickrsneed]

GREAT INFO THANKS LOOKING TO START SOON...Also how did you get your video monetized so fast

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

Thanks for checking out the video as well as leaving a comment. I am not really sure that I understand the question. Simply because I am not monetize. That would be awesome if I was.

[@Mike-fo7jo]

Thank you for the information on teams OTR !! Especially about the Smoker ! I don't see why Covenant, doesn't have a non-smoking policy in there Truck's! I can imagine how that would stink up a small area like a truck 🚛, 🚭 🚭 😖

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

I think they want to appeal to the masses since a-lot of Truckers smoke. I don’t think it’s horrible, I don’t smoke so I just prefer nonsmoker Co-driver. But if both Drivers smoke than its not really an issue at all.

[@mkeener3]

Can you request a non smoking trainer or team mate?

[@reduellc9732]

Thanks for sharing, next pay video should be coming soon

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

I’ll do a video focused just on that. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment.

[@dannywilliams3602]

Are you still in covenant dude ?

[@YovngLord]

I start at the end of July can’t wait! I’m not really tripping on the pay I’m just trying to gain some experience so I can get a better job tbh. I always viewed this as a “stepping stone” company. And I’m ready for it🔥

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

It’s not a bad company, I always recommend getting your endorsements so that you don’t leave any money on the table while your getting your experience. Good luck on your journey 🤙🏾.

[@YovngLord]

@@RelentlessEnterprize I have doubles/triples & tanker. I’m going to go for the hazmat in a few weeks . I’m still in the practicing phase of that on the test app

[@ManIAm91]

So they hire folks straight out of school? I'm asking because I jus got my CDL in August but most companies asking for experience.

[@dcmatic9577]

​@@ManIAm91 Yes they do.

[@rolandrojas5407]

I am thinking to work for them as a team but i read some reviews that they don't get so many load , slow , no miles

[@MindIsSoothed]

I wonder how they match students together.

[@leo7958]

Great video👍thx,,,, student payment is very low for a CDL holder, but it is what it is.

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

Hey, thanks for watching and I agree student pay is pretty crappy. I found that most companies student pay it’s not the best these companies try to find ways to pass less.

[@Ogdaj96]

Thank you for such a informative video. Coming to covenant with no experience. Do they make you take a backing test during the 3 day orientation or do you complete a backing test after training?

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

Hi Radajia, thanks for taking the time to watch the video. During orientation we only completed a road test. Once you complete training than you will be doing another road test and backing test.

[@jessebrantley9690]

Did u start with yet

[@kayceedadon4876]

Can u do a video on the process of getting hazmat I’ve study for it but don’t know the process

Yes, I’m working on that. Should be up and running soon.

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

There is No age limit that I am aware of. Great question

[@JonHazzard]

Why was your net pay going down

[@EvolvingSessions]

So you said they reimbursed you? Does that mean you have to pay out of pocket first?

[@monkmoto1887]

Yeah, any company with a reimbursement program is like that. Only way to not go that route is a company that has an in house cdl school

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

@Monkmoto1887 100% correct, thats for sharing that.

[@beezytalkingshit9319]

He's talking about they reimbursed him for CDL school.

[@beezytalkingshit9319]

@@RelentlessEnterprize I paid $2500 cash for my CDL schooling. Will they reimburse me for that or they only reimburse students that go to their CDL training?

[@krazydyadigg256]

They told me when I get there that I can take my hazmat test I already got my tanker endorsement CANT wait Sunday

[@mstweety1000]

Why did they take so much, and I thgt it was a set pay while training I didn’t know they tax ya on it

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

Great question, I believe they have no control over the Taxes since that’s an IRS thing. But the amount that’s taken out depends entirely on your individual tax rate and your state requirements.

[@Donny-D843]

Did u have to test before training

[@mikemcghee8942]

So the recruiter lied about the 0.75 for starting military pay

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

I cannot confirm or deny what the recruiter said because I don’t know what kind of conversation that you two had but what I do know is that if you are a veteran specially one with military truck driving experience at Covenant, you should be at $.80 per mile.

[@DAONLYDHB]

Do you have to do backing in orientation?

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

Yes

[@kingnovi9404]

Wait. Did I read 2215 miles for 871

[@XOManny-o6g]

I have one question, I recently Graduated from CDL school Oct but I’m under 21 right, it’s so hard to find a job locally, so I can’t find job, I have one of my cousin been at Covenant wanting me to team up with him in May because that’s when I’ll be 21, if I let my CDL stay for that long, would they still take me there or should I worry more about getting experience

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

I’d recommend get the experience elsewhere while you wait until May, it will help you continue to sharpen your skills plus you wouldn’t have to go out for the 4 weeks of Training with a trainer you can just go with your cousin once you complete Orientation. At the end of the day your personal situation dictates.

[@XOManny-o6g]

@@RelentlessEnterprize thank you! 👊🏾

[@mareo187]

What type of tests you do for the backing portion is the just both the L and Straight back only or they add those 2 with switching lanes?

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

Alley dock & road test is the only things that we did. It’s actually pretty easy. I don’t know of anybody that failed their onboarding test

[@jamesc4861]

For those who had to wait for their trainer…did they have to go back home or did covenant let them house in their facility while they waited.. I’m tryna figure out if I should end my lease before my training or keep it to have somethn to come back to during delays like the one u mentioned

[@jamesc4861]

Orientation apr 17 and will also do videos like yours

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

James, they have Rooms that you will be able to stay and while you are waiting for your trainer. If not they will get you a hotel in the area. Good luck with your training. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[@mkeener3]

@@jamesc4861 do you have a channel. Thanks

[@ManIAm91]

All of this sound ridiculous we already passed our backing maneuvers during school, why do we go out with a trainer then come back to get tested and what happens if you fail the backing maneuvers? What disqualifies you? Because in the real world you can get out and look as much as possible, you can pull up as much as possible so why is this test even needed??

[@jessebrantley9690]

Are u still with them

[@Ghostpeppa354]

If not on an account will u still get miles

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

To my knowledge yes, Because majority of Covenants loads are none Estes loads. I personally just believe if you want to maximize your earnings potential with Covenant, you should be on Estes pulling doubles.

[@raymondmonchi7547]

I should be going into covenant soon, please put out more content about pay stubs and proof that your making this. This encourages me and my to take this sacrifice for the fam.

[@Ghostpeppa354]

If not on Estes or wildcat accounts do they still give u the miles

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

I’m actually gonna be doing a video soon with one of my friends that I met through orientation he’s on the normal account the last I spoke to him he told me that it’s kind of on and off for the most part they were getting good miles over 5000 a week. I hope that answers your question.

[@Ghostpeppa354]

Yes it did thanks.I’m just noticing a lot of negative videos about covenant

[@gunplayjay5150]

So how do you get your endorsements

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

I’ll probably do a video on this topic. But to answer your question. I recommend searching on KZbin Hazmat/ Tankers/ Doubles and Triples Endorsements test preparation videos. They do a great job at covering the topics. After that just set up an appointment with your local Motor Vehicle Division. I believe Hazmat requires background check. But double check me on that. Good luck.

[@ManIAm91]

​@@RelentlessEnterprizeso this company requires you to have endorsement and hazmat

[@fastlifeadam]

yeah im going here for a first company, it's decided

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

Good luck, keep me posted.

[@ManIAm91]

Hey so they only hire for teams? Are you required to have experience? I just got my CDL 8/24. Also how far back do they check on the MVR??​@@RelentlessEnterprize

[@dayjamarie7600]

Do they pay for all miles?

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

Mileage is split, Cents per mile is not split. 6,000 miles would be 3K miles each driver, times your cents per mile.

[@Theone-ku8br]

Will they help u get your hazmat ?

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

Yes, they have all the training materials available to you and they encourage you heavily on getting your Hazmat. I also recommend getting your Hazmat & Doubles endorsement.

[@RelentlessEnterprize]

Sorry to hear that, I have never heard of any Dollar General accounts being good with any carrier. In my opinion, the best deck of an office is either Estes account or ATT account.

[@justinsnider2402]

Do they take no recent experience

[@wizard8437]

I’m in Florida going to team with a Bro… he has a CDL, I don’t even have a permit and still kicking weed. In the meantime I’m studying for the test and getting the money for my DT .. Covenant I’ve read on their website and read past truckers couple and people reviews, They will even train you if you have no experience and pay for your CDL and they take like 50 out of every check till it’s paid off and of course you can offer more money to expedite that process and take your CDL to a local company. Either way.. YES THEY DO. My bro has been out for a year, me teaming with him gets him in easy but he could’ve went solo and they would give him a random team driver

Again, I can only speak for my personal experience. I definitely had the urinalysis observer 2 feet away from me ensuring I follow their protocol. If that doesn’t constitute being watched than our definitions are night and day different. At the same time, it is fair to say that your experience was different from mine, but when I am answering someone’s question, I can only give honest answers from my experience. I don’t gain or lose anything from sharing how Covenant conducts their drug test based on my experience.
